Elsewhere cheaters have been caught out before they got the title...
In all fairness, illegal practice has been a problem everywhere in the past, some countries just have acted swifter upon it than others.

It is a shame they waited so long. One would think with the advantage of being local a driver would not need to take more passes than allowed to win. That is the part I don't understand.

I quite understand the need for safety briefings but the threats and it's how it's being communicated that seems to me extremely heavy-handed. And the similar NW Stages closed-road rally didnt...
